Introducing Survivor.io Basics

Initially, players will start with a throwable item called Kunai. After defeating the first horde of zombies with this weapon, players will have to collect green gems lying on the floor. It can be used to upgrade the character’s level and select or upgrade skills. The amount of spawn of the green gems increases with each passing level and so does the upgrade requirement.

An attacking skill can be upgraded to 5 stars, after reaching this level the skill gets a feature called evolution where it gets better and more powerful. In each chapter, players collide with a boss zombie. This boss is very strong and it will take a lot to defeat. The reward is also high. After a few hours of playing, this game can get boring and repetitive due to the same kind of gameplay. Different types of zombies and higher levels of difficulty will definitely avoid this problem.

Survivor.io Beginner’s Guide: Tips and Tricks

Here are some of our tips in our Survivor.io beginner’s guide to help you newbies jump-start your journey.

1. Use better equipment

Always try to use better quality instruments such as: legendary belts, vests, gloves, etc. It helps a lot to resist the zombie attacks. Players can merge their duplicate wearables to make them better.

2. Use the High Damage Abilities

It’s not a good idea to always use melee weapons. Players should try to use Guardian Tops, RPGs, and drones. These skills do the most damage.

3. Avoid the zombies

Don’t get too close to the zombies. When a player’s character is surrounded by zombies, they must try to go in only one direction. This strategy helps a lot to defend. Do not make a sudden 180° turn.

4. Collect as many chests as possible

Collecting chests is one of the most important aspects of the game. Players can collect gold chests from the battlefield for gold coins. A special rainbow crate spawns behind a boss or a large horde of zombies. Players need to collect this crate to get a magnet and multiple skills.

5. Choose your skills wisely

Players must select the attack skills based on the skill synergy. Keeping synergy helps to get evolution faster. This also works quickly while beating the zombies.
